I'm hearing alot about the structural flaws of First past the post voting these days. Glad to see more people talking about the topic. Let's start making plans to fix this once and for all so people are free to vote how they want.

I'm pushing for the 127 DC States plan, https://www.vox.com/2020/1/14/21063591/modest-proposal-to-save-american-democracy-pack-the-union-harvard-law-review , wherever I can. Getting this through successfully is probably the best chance to replace FPTP at the national level, including for Presidential elections.

Well, that is the wildest thing I read ~~in a long time~~ since the last Trump news, but it is actually very interesting. And constitutional. America is wild.

America is wild! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_divisionism Texas maybe legally has the right to choose to just divide itself into 5 states at any time
